Even after Qin Suiyou indicated that it was over, Chen Xiaodong was still in a daze.

I didn't feel any pain during the tooth extraction, but why did I get that anesthetic injection? It was just a thin needle, how could it hurt so much?

To be fair, it was Qin Suiyou's foresight in having Beitang Yan hold Chen Xiaodong down; otherwise, if he hadn't been able to resist moving his head around a lot under the stimulation of pain, he would definitely have had a big gash in his mouth.

Chen Xiaodong struggled to sit up from the operating table. Du Ruo helped him sit down and asked, "Your tooth has been extracted. What are you going to do with it?"

Looking up in confusion, Chen Xiaodong's right cheek was swollen from having a cotton ball stuck in it, making his voice muffled.

What can we do about it?

"It depends on you. Some people collect the teeth they lost as children because of local customs or their own habits. If the patient doesn't want them, the doctor will usually ask them to be disposed of with the trash."

Chen Xiaodong frowned and said, "Then let's just throw it away. This thing has caused me so much suffering, I don't want to see it again."

Then, Du Ruo turned around and started tidying up.

Qin Suiyou took off his mask and gloves, and used some hand sanitizer to wash his hands.

"Xiaodong, remember, for at least seven days from now, you cannot eat anything too oily, spicy, or hard. Temporarily avoid chewing food with your right side, and remember to rinse your mouth after each meal to keep your oral cavity as clean as possible."

After washing his hands to remove the rubber smell, Qin Suiyou took a palm-sized, flat, wide-mouthed bottle from the shelf next to him.

"Take this and add about half a tablespoon to the water each time you rinse your mouth, stir it and use it. Then, use it in conjunction with the herbal decoction that Mr. Li prescribed for you. You should be back to normal in about ten days."

Chen Xiaodong tried to open the wide-mouthed bottle to take a look, but found that he couldn't open it. Seeing this, Qin Suiyou said, "Pinch the bottle cap and turn it to the right."

Following Qin Suiyou's instructions, Chen Xiaodong pinched the bottle cap and twisted it, and it indeed loosened. After twisting it a couple more times, the cap could be completely removed.

Chen Xiaodong looked into the bottle and saw that it was full of light pink powder. He took a closer sniff and found it to be a delicate and refreshing floral fragrance.

After Chen Xiaodong and Uncle Ma returned, Li Yuanyuan, filled with questions and curiosity, discussed things with Qin Suiyou for a long time before finally returning to Yuqing Courtyard in the afternoon.

When the master of the courtyard did not give any instructions, the people would consciously find something to do, or they would stay and busy with their own affairs. Jinzhu and Luoxian were tending to the flower garden, Liujia was called to help by Jinwen and Lanfeng at the bookstore, and Zhuyi and Lanya also went to the bookstore, but the two of them went to read books.

The girls all had their own things to do, and the boys weren't idle either. Apart from Jinwen and Lanfeng, who had long been entrusted with important tasks, Liu Yao was having Du Heng instruct him in martial arts. The two of them were not making any noise in the courtyard, but from the very first day, Liu Yao's clothes were soaked with sweat every day after the first round of training.

Aside from those who went to the bookstore, the most diligent person to leave the mansion was none other than the handicraft expert, Lawson. Qin Suiyou would occasionally ask him to make some things, and he would take them to Zhao's Woodcraft Shop to make, where he would learn from the other craftsmen.

Looking around, the one who had the least to do was probably Zhu Yu, who usually spoke the least and had the lowest presence. The thing he did most was probably watch the fire in the water room. Even Gao Yu, who had been "abandoned" by Beitang Yan, was now learning from his father, hoping to learn more skills and come back.

As for Qin Suiyou's brothers and sisters, they were the ones who had the most to do, but outsiders often didn't know what they were doing.

After observing today's batch of lab rats, Qin Suiyou sat by the window in his study, staring blankly at the center of the newly cleaned courtyard, lost in thought.

Beitang Yan, who was looking at the picture of many weapons that Qin Suiyou had given him, looked up, thought for a moment, and then stepped forward and asked, "Wife, what are you thinking about?"

Qin Suiyou's gaze remained unchanged, but he replied softly, "I'm thinking about how to unleash a person's potential."

"Potential?"

"It is a talent that is hidden deep within a person's heart, a talent that they themselves may not even be aware of."

Beitang Yan patted his chest and said, "Is my wife trying to unleash my potential? I'm always ready."

Qin Suiyou shook his head. "It's not you. You're smart enough. You don't need me to inspire you. Just read more books and study on your own."

These words, which could be considered praise, did not make Beitang Yan immediately feel elated. Instead, he puffed out his cheeks and asked, "Then who are you trying to provoke?"

Qin Suiyou was still half-absorbed in his own thoughts, so he failed to notice the sour tone in Beitang Yan's words.

Then, Beitang Yan heard: "Zhu Yu, I basically know what talents and skills the people in Wutong Courtyard have, except for him. He should have mild autism. He is always in a protective state of not wanting to be different from others and does not show anything."

The more Beitang Yan listened, the higher his lips curled up. In the end, he even lay down on the table and stared at Qin Suiyou with a resentful look.

After speaking for a while and still not hearing Beitang Yan's voice, Qin Suiyou realized something was wrong. He looked at the person beside him and said, "I want to cultivate more talents. Targeted training can achieve the best results. However, if there really isn't anyone outstanding, I won't force it. Speaking of which, you are the most well-rounded person I've ever met."

Beitang Yan's cheeks were still puffed out, and he pursed his lips, turning his head away from Qin Suiyou. This simple action melted Qin Suiyou's heart.

A moment later, Qin Suiyou raised his hand and poked the cheek of the person in front of him.

"Tell me, how can you be so cute?"

Her clear voice softened a bit, making Beitang Yan's ears itch. He awkwardly pouted and then said, "Then...am I the cutest person you've ever met?"

The cuteness that Beitang Yan refers to is not the kind of cuteness of a baby, but rather a cuteness that combines the meanings of the two characters and centers on "love".

Qin Suiyou didn't think too much about it. Seeing Beitang Yan ask so seriously, he lowered his head and chuckled for a while before nodding.

"Of course, you are the most adorable person I have ever met."

"Cuter than that cloud?"

Recalling that Yun Duo had already been taken back by Jiang Pei'er, Qin Suiyou nodded again.

"Yes, it's not as cute as you."

Beitang Yan was satisfied. The reason he only asked Jiang Peier about her two-month-old puppy instead of other people was because, despite his jealousy, he still felt that no one could be better than him. However, he was inexplicably unsure about small animals. But since his wife had said so, whether it was true or not, he was happy now.

Then Beitang Yan stood up and said, "It's just that she has some talent. I'll go ask her for my wife."

Qin Suiyou: "?"

Qin Suiyou: "What do you want to ask?"
